Seriously, b/c Revy is the very definition of interesting. The excitement, unpredictability, almost everything that Revy does captures my attention in Black Lagoon.

Revy is the definition of randomness.

Uh no.

I think that you're confusing interesting with random.

Creating a character for the sole purpose of pure randomness and lack of meaningful depth or any actual purpose other than appealing to the casual is not interesting in my opinion. But that's just my opinion and you're free to disagree with my sentiments. I'm not trying to generalize my opinions.

We'll just have to agree to disagree. But I do want to state that Revy is not "pure random" and actually thrives in her world. But I guess that all defines how a person portrays it. B/c what some might find to be a "meaningful purpose in life" could be viewed as a waste of times for others.

But set Revy's purpose in life aside, and she still has more opinions and interesting background than other anime characters.

Which leads me to that old unanswered question: What is the meaning of life? ...

"what you choose it to be" is only perhaps on a personal view of life's meaning. But there are many other factors to consider before truly answering such a question. You'd have to ask the question on a biological, religious, mankind as a whole etc.

I doubt that anybody could cover all these boundaries with one simple sentence.

For example: If somebody asks you" Why do we exist?" would you answer with "What you choose it to be... that's pretty obvious"

I believe that there's no definite answer to this question and that people, individually, have their own meaning of life based on social, genetic and personal factors. There's no doubt that people have their own view of reality and that this isn't consistent between individuals. In relation to Anime I believe that Itachi explains this very well from one of his most known dialogues:

"People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define "reality". But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? Merely vague concepts ... their "reality" may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?"

So if there's no definitely answer, then nobody truly knows.

The point is that people can choose to accept what they think is the meaning of life but without knowing if that's the truth or not. From their perspective it may be true whilst you and I can have completely different opinions. But these "opinions" can be shaped in such as way that they become "reality" from our perspective and therefore makes them the only "truth" and "correct" meaning of life. We can't really be sure what's truly "true" and "correct"...

This only further proves my point in which I stated that such a question can't be answered simply with "what you choose it to be". How far are you willing to ignore logic and reality in this world created by ones opinion of what truth is.

Because logic and reality may just be an illusion. Who decides what's logic? Who decides what's real?

That's where most people differ in thought. If you get shot in the head, you will most likely die; that's not an illusion imo. So we can assume that there are laws set in motion to prevent from everything going haywire.

Anyway, we just turned a simple "I'm glad Revy is doing OK" comment into a full-blown halfass philosophy discussion lol.

That's not something we can assume. We don't really know what happens after "death" or if we really die. This entire world may just be something imaginary inside of our minds, individually, somewhere else...(etc, etc). Yeah, you know what I mean.

Revy does>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Saber. I have seen Black Lagoon and FSN to know that to be True. infact Revy herself >>>>>>>>>>>>>>The entirety of FSN.

Look ya'll, I know Martin's annoying, but deliberate falsehood helps no one and nothing.

I was serious though

I think Revy is twice the character Saber is. I honestly don't get her appeal. I liked Tohsaka more and I'm not as high on her as some either. But she was still better then Saber. I guess I just think FSN and it's characters are overrated.

I did like Saber, and a number of the FSN characters. I just don't think any of them to be what they are hyped to be.

plus Black Lagoon is one of my top 5 favorite Anime period. I like Dutch from Black Lagoon better then Rin and Saber But I don't think either are bad or unlikeable characters. I just don't get the mass appeal.

I did like her. Just not to the level that you do. Everyone to me in FSN is alright to good. I don't highly rank anyone from it. Because to me it was just a average to good Anime with nothing great about it. It was worth watching, and the characters are interesting enough to care about the story and universe. But I just don't get why it as a whole is loved so much. I asked AK that as he likes it more then me and he couldn't explain it... Though I'd likely have better a chance in getting LIT to point bomb Asuka then I would getting AK to explain anything as to why he likes something

People have decided who they're going to vote so whatever people say isn't going to change anything.

You'd be wrong in that assessment. Not everyone is that straight set in what they are going to do in every match. That is why people that like Saber keep warning you to stop with the smack talk. Because they have seen it happen before and are afraid someone will troll Saber out to shut you up.

If you don't think that someone would do that, then you don't know this game very well

Doesn't matter, you still need to burn.

DARKFIRE, sez beyond that, you're answering a question I never asked here. If you want me to explain it I will (well I can explain why I feel that way), but you'd already answered the question of your feelings on Saber previously.

Maybe you're right because it looks like people have trolled Saber a lot in her current match. Perhaps I'm wrong because not everyone have voted yet but the scores does look a bit out of the place and that could indeed be related to what you're saying. But that's not necessarily the case. I doubt that though.
